About the Item

Directoire style antique French chairs made with solid wood construction that has been finished with a lustrous French polish of museum quality. We love the elegant stylized acanthus leaf details on the back of the chairs and the tapered front legs with brass capped front feet. They feature the original white and yellow striped upholstery in fair condition. The chairs are in very nice antique condition structurally with wear to the upholster – the photos accurately depict the condition.
